perfect strangers

Chapter 10

        After her visit to the hospital on Monday, Michelle went in to the office on Tuesday to get the file for the mission printed out and to also pick up the private file Chucks told her about. With that done she began studying and writing down key points on the evidence and locations where Willy has been spotted since he's been in Nigeria.

      Michelle's love for her job was the main reason why she was extremely good at it, always putting a lot of time and hard work into whatever mission she was assigned to. Aside from doing the basics like eating, bathing and sleeping she spent Tuesday through Thursday intently studying the mission reading and re-reading through the lines trying to find new clues on how to catch Willy who kept disappearing, she only took necessary breaks like pee break or short news break to check what's on the news and to let her brain rest a little.

      Thursday evening was so beautiful with the sun starting to set and light breeze swooshing the leaves on the trees and grasses, after being locked up in her house for two full days she had to go out this evening to check out the rented house which has been provided for James by the NIA to make sure it was comfortable and everything was set for him to move in.

     As it was evening time she wore the same sweatpants she had been wearing since this morning only switching the crop top she was wearing for a tank top, the hotel where James currently stayed belonged to her and she had given instructions for James to be treated well and for them to take note of his food orders so she could know what to shop for when she goes food shopping for his house tomorrow.

     As she swerved her car into destiny estate's gate she looked up at the house numbers as she drove looking for house number  twenty-three . She parked her car outside the gate of the cute looking detached house.

    "Good evening ma" A young man standing outside the door of the house greeted her as she entered the gate.

     "Hello" she said as she inspected the recently cleaned house, the door of the house opened and a middle aged woman holding cleaning supplies came out of the house and greeted Michelle then the man excused himself to give the woman her pay.

    "Is there anything left to do" Michelle asked the man after the woman left

   "No ma, we have cleaned up everything and have asked the tech guys to check the Wi-Fi connection, the electricians have reconnected the wires for electricity and have installed a solar panel for uninterrupted power, I've subscribed the decoder so everything is ready for you to move in"

    The man said gesturing as he showed Michelle everything they've done in the house she nodded as he talked, glad that things were going as scheduled, James could finally move into the house whenever his team came that's if it's needed the could join him since the house was big enough.
    Michelle collected the keys to the house and the little Mercedes rental car parked inside the garage then she drove home smiling as she opened the car roof down dreading tomorrow when she had to meet with James to go over a few things but for now she'll enjoy  the rest of her evening and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

      As usual Lagos traffic was terrible but luckily she left for the hotel an hour early so the traffic would not affect her plans for today. Sitting in her car trying not to be irritated as she watched the car in front of her crawl slowly instead of driving she thought about her meeting for the day.

      The heavy rain from yesterday didn't even affect the weather for today, at ten in the morning the sun was already smiling down. As she pulled into the hotel premises she hoped James was ready because she had called him to remind him of the plans for today and she didn't want to wait because she still had to go to the market.
